You’re getting them for even less than they were during the sale, cause our mixed pack offers are always on point.
These wines were snapped up fast – ordered, reordered, and ordered again – and now you can grab the whole lineup in one epic value dozen.
To seal the deal, we’ve made it a baker’s dozen, throwing in a bottle of Yaldara’s Grand Cuvée Shiraz 2022 – a $250 RRP Barossa powerhouse.
Learn More - Ca Vegar Bardolino DOC 2023$45.00Its bigger than Pinot, and of course has a different flavour profile, but in the UK plenty of punters who drink Pinot are equally enamoured of Bardolino. 'But it is made from the same grapes as Amarone', we hear you say. It is, and Bardolino is only half an hour from that region, but the wines are altogether brighter and far more delicate than you'll find there. This Bardolino sees about 6 months in oak, followed by some time in tank prior to bottling – red fruits and violet form the nose. It is red fruity, pulpy and fleshy and finishes tight and dry, with excellent length, minerality, plenty of acid and fine tannins. Drink it with rich meaty dishes or oily fish. Definitely a food wine and absolutely worth decanting. Learn More

- The 'Got any Blacker?' Shiraz DozenRegular Price $1,515.00 $360.00
We wanted to build the best pack we’ve never made before...
And after tossing around a few ideas, inspiration struck:
What if every wine in the pack had someone say,
"That’s one of the best wines I’ve ever had"?
So here it is — a lineup of 4 incredible Shiraz, all with serious pedigree, rave reviews, and a stack of repeat customers.
Yaldara Grand Shiraz – RRP $250
A powerhouse Barossa red — bold, black and luxe
Two Sisters Shiraz – Barossa Valley
From a family that’s been growing grapes since the first vines were planted in the region. Pure, classic, intense Barossa.
Lone Palm Hillside Shiraz – Barossa Valley
Compared to Grange more than once. Silky power, serious structure.
Showblock Shiraz – McLaren Vale
Multiple 96-point reviews and a mountain of repeat orders. Just a stunning wine. Learn More - The McLaren Vale Red DozenRegular Price $764.00 $295.00
We love McLaren Vale here at winedirect.com.au. These reds have soul – rich, fruit-driven and generous – drinking beautifully from the first glass to the last.
They’re relaxed enough to lift a pizza after mid-week sport, but easily classy enough to eyeball a fillet steak on Friday night.
This pack brings together six absolute beauties, including Oliver’s Taranga Shiraz 2022 – from a Halliday 5 Red Star winery and Grange grower, this is pure McLaren power with polish to spare. There's Pasha Shiraz 2021 – A 97-point, $100-a-bottle stunner that balances opulence and finesse in one hell of a package. From Dowie Doole, their flagship Architect Cabernet Sauvignon, a 96-pointer and, in our view, one of the best Cabs coming out of the Vale right now. Dandelion Vineyards 'Treasure Trove' Grenache 2019 – vibrant, silken, and wildly aromatic. Staff orders are full of this stuff – and for good reason. And if that's not quite enough, and to be fair 'cos there are 12 slots in the box, Showblock's ‘Rosie’ Red 2019 – A bold, full-throttle blend that’s rich, ripe, and ready to go. Big wine, big flavour, big fun.
